I love hosting, it's my favourite thing

Olivia Bowen is truly feeling the festive spirit this year. The former Love Island star is enjoying some early Christmas magic when we catch up with her as she hits the ice-skating rink at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland in London. The mum-of-one is also looking forward to a trip to Lapland with her husband Alex, 33, and two-year-old son Abel.

“I’m so excited for Christmas!” the 30-year-old tells us at the W7 Cosmetics private Christmas party.

“Abel ‘gets’ Christmas this year for the first year. So we’re just trying to implement all of our little traditions and he understands what’s happening, so it just feels more magical. And it’s our first Christmas in our new house, so we’ve got loads of decorations and we’re hosting.”

As well as her Yuletide plans, Liv reveals she and Alex are trying for another baby and how her nephew’s recent arrival got her feeling broody. However, she adds that two kids is her limit!

Here, Liv talks Christmas…

Hi, Olivia! Merry Christmas! Are you nervous about hosting this year?
